omg
girls... let me tell you about my night tonight
so i had an alumni event tonight, for african americans in my program. i went to this event last year and it was, in hindsight, more or less a catastrophe. i was still unemployed, and i was awkward, and embarrassed, and didnt want to be there.
tonight i went with a guy from my program that i went out with a couple times... it never led anywhere obviously, but we still go out together from time to time. so he was my ride for the night and we went together. i wore a black a-line dress (a "skater" dress) with a cropped cardigan over it and i have been favoring my hair pulled back on the sides and down in the back... my intent was to make connections to aid my now upcoming job search... i made some connects alright
this smooooooooooooooooooth brother who looked like a cross between tommy on martin and kenny lattimore was trying to get in where he fit in ALL NIGHT. and it was very subtle initially, but when i asked to exchange contact info and he gave me his personal email and not his business email i said, oh, personal huh? and the flirting was nonstop from there. he laid it on THICK... bout how he was in zambia and london this summer, hes going to vegas this weekend, he was surprised i was talking to him, nobody looked twice at him in grad
he doesnt date snow bunnies
he loves the sistas
he was hitting me from every angle
I LOVED IT.
theeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen it turned out the president of his organization (and it was by no means a small organization it is VERY well known) was an alum in attendance at this event too! and he sat at the table with me (earlier in the night) blah blah blahing, and made sure before he left to give me his card... he was like 48! the other guy was 38...
and theeeen
this young guy who works at the dept of va i only talked to him a little bit because i wasnt sure if he was in the same vein as the others
but i was still like, i wanna give you my contact info, not even for networking, bc i want to go out with you socially! like being friendly... and hes like, im glad you said that, because im trying to get to know you socially
giiiiiiiiirl... i felt HIGH on all the attention
and now im waiting for bf to get here
what a fantastic night! remember when this used to be my life?
